–>Obama Needs to Investigate Al Qaeda Leaks for Treason

Rep. Pete King, the chairman of the House committee on Homeland Security, wrote FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III today to formally request that the bureau launch a comprehensive investigation into leaks of detailed and highly classified information about an international anti-terror operation involving al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula earlier this month.

Let’s imagine you were given a security clearance and had access to sensitive national security information. Telling another individual this information that did not both share the appropriate clearance and have a "need to know" would be considered a crime.

Now imagine someone leaks this sort of classified information to the media. It should be a crime as well. The Obama administration should be out in full force going after these guys.
